i have a nextcloud server set up. i am using the manjaro distro which uses xfce (most stable manjaro i have used on pinebook pro so far). so in order to get this working i installed the nextcloud-desktop app. the install is pretty straightforward, just pacman -S nextcloud-desktop then run through the motions of logging in.

i found that every time i login though it was asking me to login again. what a pain. so i used the following steps to fix it.

pacman -S gnome-keyring

afterwards you need to edit /etc/pam.d/lightdm
you’ll notice that there are two options for gnome-keyring that have a “-” (minus sign) next to them.
get rid of the minus sign and try again. i actually restarted the pinebook pro for good measure. upon next login i did not have to go through that convoluted login process. your /etc/pam.d/lightdm should look like this:

/etc/pam.d » cat lightdm jrg@jrpinebookpro

%PAM-1.0

auth include system-login
auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
account include system-login
password include system-login
session include system-login
session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start

thanks to the people who were discussing this on github here.
